1969 Blazer - 507 Light Blue

[harrisoncole4]

While this project is far from done, i am at least at a stage where i can start sharing some of the work that has been done to this blazer so far.

My interest in the 67-72 chevy/gmc trucks really began with the crew cab builds that were popular around 2014ish. I believe "project penicillin" was a build that i thought was wickedly cool, as was the first crewcab truck that rtech fabrications did. Around the same time, IronCanine started working on his silver 70 k5. After watching that build for a bit, I was hooked and had to get a blazer of my own. After heavily researching for few months i came to the conclusion that i really wanted a 69 for a few reasons. 1.) I was a huge fan of the 69/70 grill. 2.) 69 had the lowest production run. 3.) The 69's had a bunch of weird one year quirks 4.) In Ontario Canada where i am from, 1969 was the 2nd last year blue plates were offered. We have had boring white ones since then, and i thought that it would be a neat addition to the build.

I couldn't really afford a nice one at this point, so i looked all across the eastern United States for one. Here is what i found.

It was located in Columbia Tennessee, and had no drivetrain or top. But it came with a proper ownership, and a few of the hard to find pieces were there. Looking back on it, I would recommend buying one that was in a bit better shape. That being said i was, and still am super pumped about this truck.
